97th Table Top Tuesday

The tree and all the Christmas decor is down, packed away and up in the attic. Now we are into a brand new year with tons of possibilities for new everything. Every day the Lord gives us a new day to start afresh, and the New Year always reminds me of that Blessing. I hope your New Year is full of wonderful new starts and everything is fresh.

It's so fun to see how different the house looks and feels when all the Christmas decor is gone, kind of empty, but oh so calm and peaceful. I love trying to fix those first few tablescapes. This is the first one this year. Things that were already here, just moved around to different spots.

I am still enjoying my family photos so much, so of course a couple stayed.

This urn is one of my favorites and I really enjoy the soft colors of the floral arrangement. I also love the two marble orbs, the color and texture is so pretty when the light hits them.

I have really been intrigued by all the feathers I see in all kinds of arrangements. I love the big frilly one on the right. I just got a bunch of feathers in the mail from a floral supply, so you will probably see feathers all over the place.

I am sure you are enjoying putting your house back together after the Holidays too. I can't wait to see what all you've created.

Happy New Year Marty! Everything looks so pretty and neat. It will be a few more days until all is neat around here as I still have company. But that's okay as they have certainly not overstayed there welcome and I will be sad to see them go.

Marty, You have such an eye for arrangements, especially those with soft, warm colors, and flower displays. The urn and lamp look beautiful together. Love the holidays, but also love when the stuff goes away, and life gets back to a more simple rhythm. Thanks for hosting. ~CJ

I'm envious that your beautiful home is back to normal. I'm still in the Christmas mode here, but ready to get it put away. One more family dinner tonight, and tomorrow the tree comes down and the decorations get packed away. ;-)Your new vignettes looks fresh and ready for the new year. Thanks for hosting. ~ sarah

Happy New Year Marty! I still have much of my Christmas still up. I always wait till after New Year's because it's my birthday and it takes such a long time to decorate that I always take my time returning everyting to the boxes.

Hi Marty! I have been enjoying my free time with my hubby so much that we still have our decorations up. Down they will come tomorrow and your post has inspired me to get busy and get everything packed up! Thanks for hosting Marty and just think ~ only a few weeks away until the 100th TTT!

Wow Marty, your way ahead of me, I am still working on getting things back. Here and there, I am almost done. Your place looks comfy and very cozy. I never realized you had a linky party. I will try to make it every week!Thanks for hosting.Eileen

Marty, I love the feathers too. The addition of feathers makes that arrangement so special. Your vignette looks so pretty. I've been trying to remember what I had on my mantel before Thanksgiving! Christmas is very slowly coming down at my house. Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2012! laurie

Happy New Year and thanks for hosting, Marty! It will be nice to be back to normal with decorating. I wait until January 6th to take our stuff down, but may get a head start with the little bits that are spread out throughout the rooms.

Happy New Year Marty. Sorry that I have not been able to participate in your fun party each week due to my hectic workload. It's still hectic but I'm determined to post as often as possible. Love your room...very warm and cozy. It always feels naked when you remove the Christmas decor, but it really is not.

Happy New Year, Marty! Your home looks wonderful!! You always have the most beautiful vignettes. I'm just getting back into the blog world, so my post is a little late...but, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to join in fun!

I in addition to my buddies appeared to be digesting the good advice on the website and so suddenly came up with a terrible suspicion I had not expressed respect to the website owner for them. Most of the guys appeared to be so glad to learn all of them and now have certainly been taking pleasure in them. Thank you for being quite thoughtful as well as for opting for these kinds of smart resources millions of individuals are really desperate to learn about. Our honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to earlier.Sorel Women's Tofino CVS Boot
